Started off rough, but improved over time - Anonymous employee Common Sail Investment Group Employee Review

The accounting department had strong cliques when I first started. If you didn’t fit in, you were immediately ostracized. Office gossip and bullying made for a hostile work environment for the first few months I was employed until I was no longer the new person in our department. There was also no process for training new employees. The atmosphere was pretty much sink or swim. Most of the department was patient while you were new and learning, but there were a few employees who weren’t afraid to laugh at you and let you know they thought you had little intelligence for not picking up the job tasks immediately. There is no real way to move up in the company unless you become management’s pet. You’re not valued based on your work. The pay is under market value and it’s well known that no one wants to stay in AP for more than a year. Accountants will look down on you and expect you to drop everything for their requests.
